Corn with Jalapeno-Garlic Butter Bold Flavor Boost
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn, husked
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 jalapeños, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, finely chopped jalapeños, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well blended to create your jalapeño-garlic butter.
- Brush the corn ears lightly with some of the jalapeño-garlic butter, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
- Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has grill marks.
- Once grilled, remove the corn from the heat and brush with additional jalapeño-garlic butter for extra flavor.
- Serve the corn hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
💡 Chef's Notes
Arrange the corn on a rustic wooden serving board. Place lime wedges around the corn, and sprinkle the cilantro on top for a vibrant touch.
